Our blue planet ……..… is getting redder
![Page 6: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
•Irrigation accounts for 2/3 of water use worldwide and as much as 90% in many developing countries•About 40% of the world's food is grown in irrigated soils, which make up 18% of global cropland.
![Page 7: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Some Agriculture Realities..
• Global food demand will double in 50 years• Increased income (globally 2.4 times by 2050) will lead
to increased consumption• Per capita arable land globally is decreasing• Intensification and efficiency will be key • Biofuels compete with food and fiber for land• 3-4% increase per year in cotton demand (2 billion
kg/year)

Cotton: a global crop
![Page 9: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cotton: a global crop
• Produced in 90 countries (approx.)• 80% developing nations• 35 million Ha of land under cotton (2.5% of cropland)
• World production & consumption: ~25 MT/ year- 8 countries grow 85% of all cotton- 30-35% of primary production traded internationally yearly
• - Finished products go to every country
• Vital to the economies and people of many developing countries- e.g. C.Asia, West Africa, Pakistan
![Page 10: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cotton and development
• More than 90% of cotton farmers live in developing countries
• Vast majority are poor, small-holders (<2ha)• Cotton is often only cash crop• Cotton is often only source of credit• Poverty, debt and crisis are only one crop failure away for
farmers

Cotton growth to productionWater Losses
• First / agricultural stage: Cotton production at field level• evaporation of infiltrated rainwater
for cotton growth (green water use),• withdrawal of ground or surface
water for irrigation (blue water use),• water pollution due to the leaching
& run off of fertilizers and pesticides
• Second / industrial stage : Processing of seed cotton into final cotton products• Abstraction of process water from
surface or ground water,• Pollution of water as a result of the
waste flows from cotton processing industries

Methodology
1. Research
• BMPs collated and tested
• Access to financing options / micro credit
• Gap analysis of the Policy framework
![Page 17: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2. Farm level implementation
• TOF and FTOF: Training of facilitators and Farmers Training of Facilitators
• FFS( Farmer Field School): A process of discovery based learning/teaching with participatory approach
• FO (Farmer Organization) Capacity building of existing and/ or new FOs for the adoption and promotion of BMPs to educate the farming communities

![Page 19: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Farmer training:400+ Farmer Field Schools established In cotton growing areas…
![Page 20: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
.…and 10000 farmers trained

Pakistan Sustainable Cotton Initiative30% reduction in
fertiliser use
Better farming practices for cotton
23% reduction in irrigation water
60% reduction in pesticides
![Page 22: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
FTOF
• Five photos
Gross margins have increased

Health has improved from reduced pesticides and increased awareness
“Before we understood the impact of pesticides we thought our children got sick for superstitious reasons – like we had done something wrong. Now we know if it is a pesticide problem and take our children to the doctor”
![Page 24: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Private sector support
More than 240,000 kg of “better” cotton was purchased by a local miller in 2006
IKEA is supporting the development of better practices in cotton production
The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) is testing their sustainability standards with WWF in Pakistan
![Page 25: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Better Irrigation Practices
Bed and Furrow Irrigation
Laser Land Leveler
Right: Alternate Row Irrigation
![Page 26: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Water Saving due to Better Irrigation Practices
• Bed and furrow technique: 27-33%
• Laser leveller: 33-37%
• Alternate row irrigation: 22-31%
• Water scouting: 16-24%

The Way Forward……
![Page 28: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Three main drivers:1. supply chain security,
2. reputation risk and
3. consumer markets
• Brands/Retailers should/can• build integrated supply chains
• promote an industry standard for sustainable cotton by supporting BCI
• exert pressure on suppliers by actively demanding better cotton
• provide easily accessible product information to consumers.
• support projects which assist farmers in making the shift to sustainable seed cotton production

Brands/Retailers
![Page 29: Hammad Naqi Khan Director – Freshwater & Toxics Programme WWF - Pakistan Sustainable Cotton: Making it cleaner and greener Vijverberg](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e675503460f94b6355b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Suppliers
• Ensure that environmental concerns are playing an increasing role in supply chain management.
• Should understand that cotton grown through BMPs is more profitable for the farmers through direct contact with farmers and Ginners (no third party involvement).
• Institutional support to promote sustainable cotton production and development of Better/sustainable cotton standards.
• Implementation of BMPs in their farms.
• Influence and promote BMPs in their sourcing area.

• Organize themselves & participate in community run programs
• Be innovative, do experimentation, informed decision-making
• Switch from conventional to sustainable better cotton practices
• Build networks with research organizations and any local organizations that work towards sustainable farm practices
What can Farmers do?
